The authors examine how issue-tracker labels affect file-level bug localization evaluation. They classify reports across five benchmarks and compare six techniques on the Ye et al. benchmark before and after removing suspected non-bugs from the test set. Non-bugs make up 29.01% to 44.01% of reports; all six techniques’ MRR falls, but the performance-impact results are limited to this benchmark and these methods.
